The area

Situated on the busy A53 in a well-established residential area, just steps from a busy year-round campsite and minutes from Buxton town centre.

Drinks: The Duke will offer a wide range of drinks, including premium lagers, ciders, spirits, wines, and some cocktails, along with a great range of soft drinks and low & no options. This variety caters to everyone, from regulars enjoying beers to visitors seeking a more premium experience, ensuring the pub appeals to a broad audience.

Food: A traditional menu of classic pub favourites will complement the drinks selection.

Coffee: Quality coffee can be offered, attracting daytime visitors and non-drinkers, broadening the pub’s appeal.

Events: The pub will offer live sports, live entertainment, quizzes, fundraising events, and themed gatherings.

The above figures are provided as a guide only and will be finalized as part of the commercial agreement. All figures quoted are exclusive of VAT.

Estimated Working Capital is an estimate of key start-up costs such as professional fees, training fee, premises license fee, F&F valuation fee & till floats. There will be additional ongoing charges payable during the term of the agreement such as property maintenance, repairs fund, and SmartDispense. These costs will be outlined prior to completing a business plan and finalized at Heads of Terms.

The calculation of the Estimated Minimum Ingoing Costs assumes a minimum deposit of 1 month's rent and that fixtures and fittings (F&F) are rented. The subsequent deposit build-up and F&F rental costs should be included in your financial assumptions in your business plan. Note that on FRI and Investment Tenancy Agreements, deposits will always be 3 month's rent in advance and fixtures and fittings (F&F) must always be purchased. A deposit of 6 month's rent will be required for operators trading under a Limited Company with no Guarantors. In order to ensure a successful start-up, all applicants must have a minimum of £10,000 un-borrowed funds.
